"Claire Namdar is an outstanding real estate professional. She assisted me in buying a property that had a complex pedigree--and the transaction involved an unusual degree of due diligence. Claire was extremely helpful throughout the process, representing my interests as well as the seller's. She also predicted the finished value of the completed house, with great local knowledge. I would highly recommend her." - K. Everson

★★★★★
"Claire is amazing. She has great vision, works incredibly hard, and goes above and beyond. Claire would come over to help set up the house for showings, she knew all of the comps, and at the end sent us environmentally friendly moving boxes. Having bought and sold homes and moved multiple times, we were blown away by Claire's contributions. Few realtors earn their commission, Claire earns her commission two times over. She's the best." - C. Silsby

★★★★★
"Claire Namdar has been our real estate agent for over 15 years, starting with the purchase of our first home. She has continually helped throughout the years when we consult on new sales & purchase opportunities and has assisted additional members of our extended family with multiple investment properties. We all rely on her for her extensive market knowledge of the Orange County area, her meticulous attention to contract details, and continually strong work ethic. Plus she has a great attitude and always keeps the entire process fun & stress free! We highly recommend Claire to anyone considering purchasing or selling in the future." - M. & E. Montford

★★★★★
"Claire blew us away! I’m certain she saved my sanity many many times throughout the sale of our house. She was exceedingly professional and personal, she was knowledgeable and helpful. She helped us pack, she took things to the Goodwill for us, she helped stage our house... did you even know that realtors did that!? Really she is the best!" - Paige S.

★★★★★
"Claire was an EXCEPTIONAL agent for my wife and I. We came across Claire at an open house in Costa Mesa and instantly knew she'd be the right choice for us to buy a home. We had only been seriously looking for a home for a short period of time, and when we found one we fell in love with Claire was on it the instant we made our decision. Her breadth of knowledge of the local housing market and familiarity with the school system, local eateries, and neighborhoods made for a seamless decision come purchase time. Throughout the transaction, Claire was professional, timely, and an absolute pleasure to work with. We would happily work with Claire again and recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell in the Costa Mesa/Newport area." - Evan Kilbourne

★★★★★
"We could not have been happier with Claire! Claire assisted us in finding a house while we relocated from Australia. She was incredibly patient, knowledgeable, friendly and professional. She helped us find a wonderful house and was never pushy, she always had our best interests at heart. I would 100% recommend Claire!" - Jodie Sivewright

★★★★★
"Working with Claire to find a temporary home while our home was being rebuilt, could not have been a more pleasant experience. As we insisted on exploring several areas before settling in Newport Coast, Claire showed a great deal of patience and made herself available to our timetable and schedule. Most importantly, she took the time to understand our needs and what was important. We could not have been more pleased with our decision and have recommended her to others. She is professional, knowledgeable and very thorough." - Fred Slocum & Lynn Johnson

★★★★★
"Claire has been wonderful! Super knowledgable of the homes (and sometimes the history of the home)! She is very well connected with the local community, politics and schools in the area. She knows what is going on especially in Eastside Costa Mesa and Dover Shores area. She showed me different parts of the neighborhoods provided comps, and rental estimates for investment property choices. She helped me make sense of what areas would retain my investment choices and why. Above all she listens to what your needs are and focuses around what properties would be a perfect match. She made time for me at a moments notice when a property fit my criteria. I would not hesitate to recommend her as she is a professional in her field and would definitely work with her again." - Debbie M.

★★★★★
"Thank you for all your hard work and professionalism in helping us sell our triplex! Dave and I were very pleased with everything you and Claire did from beginning to end. Your quick open house, beautiful magazine ads and websites, front page and magazine covers were very professional. We are also very pleased with the final sales price. You are an awesome negotiator! We loved how you kept us informed throughout all the paperwork and escrow processes. You and Claire are a fabulous team and it was a privilege to work with you." - D. & P. Gould

★★★★★
"We want to say thanks to you and Claire for showing us around two weeks ago. We really appreciate all the effort. You both are really nice and enjoyable to be with. We really enjoyed our afternoon with you and the tour you gave us of the area. ... If we ever hear of friends looking for a place in the Newport area, we will be sure to recommend you. And we have told our friends in Newport how great you treated us" - C. & N. Wolff

★★★★★
"Both of you did a wonderful job. I really appreciate all the professionalism and hard work. In my opinion, you did everything possible to get the house sold as quickly as possible and for the highest price. The marketing was all I could possibly ask for. Your communication and responsiveness was excellent. I'm sure you'll be increasingly successful as your reputation increases on the bay and in the community. It was a great pleasure to work with you....Keep in touch. Warm Regards, " - Chuck & Dave
